Treatment Programs Available to Palatine Residents
After a comprehensive assessment, our clinicians recommend the level of care that matches your needs. You can step up or down between programs as you progress, all with the same team.
Day Treatment Program (PHP)
Our day treatment program runs five days a week with full days of group therapy, individual sessions, psychiatric care, and skills work. It is the right fit when symptoms are severe but overnight hospitalization is not needed. Clients from Palatine return home each evening.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Our intensive outpatient program meets several days a week for about three hours per session, and our evening IOP is built for people who work or attend school during the day.

Weekly individual and group therapy through our outpatient program, plus psychiatric evaluation and medication management, support long-term recovery after a higher level of care or for milder symptoms.

Our dual diagnosis program treats mental health and substance use together with one integrated team, which research consistently shows produces better outcomes than treating them separately.

Other Programs
Outpatient Program (OP)
The outpatient program at our rehab is tailored to those who have completed higher levels of care or require a less intensive treatment approach due to their stage in recovery. During standard outpatient treatment, clients engage in therapy sessions once or twice a week, focusing on maintaining sobriety, strengthening coping mechanisms, and continuing personal growth in recovery. This flexible program is designed to support clients as they navigate the challenges of everyday life, providing ongoing support and resources while allowing them to fulfill their personal, professional, and family commitments. It’s an ideal solution for long-term recovery management, offering a supportive network and professional guidance as clients build a fulfilling, sober life.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Our intensive outpatient program is designed for individuals who need more support than standard outpatient treatment but have a stable living situation that supports their recovery journey. An intensive outpatient program involves attending therapy sessions and group meetings several times a week, often during evenings or weekends, to accommodate work or school schedules. This level of care allows clients to integrate real-world experiences into their treatment, applying learned skills in daily life while maintaining a strong connection to support and guidance. The focus is on developing personal accountability, understanding the root causes of addiction, and building a sustainable recovery plan.
